About the Game

From legendary game creator Hideo Kojima comes an emotionally charged evolution of this genre-defying experience. In bringing this title to PC, KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS worked with Nixxes Software to deliver the definitive version of the critically acclaimed console release.

Unique and realistic world

In the expansive open world of DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH, countless areas with vastly different terrains and environments are seamlessly connected, and the changing time, weather and nature itself provide a variety of landscapes and challenges.

Evolved and more flexible action

There are various obstacles that will prevent Sam from completing his mission. Face them head-on, sneak around, or completely avoid dangerous areas. Choose your approach to any situation.

A deep and captivating story

Eleven months after the events of the original DEATH STRANDING, rejoin Sam and his companions on a new journey to save humanity from extinction and discover the answer to this haunting question: Should we have connected?

Go beyond the UCA

Join Sam for the next chapter of his journey as he attempts to connect Australia to the Chiral Network. Navigate a living environment through day and night cycles, natural disasters – including earthquakes, sandstorms and forest fires – and Timefall, a rain that instantly ages everything it touches.

To traverse this dangerous landscape, you’ll need to build new types of infrastructure, master specialized equipment and confront (or evade) the otherworldly creatures that roam the fractured world.

Fight for the future

Face enigmatic Mech soldiers, as-yet unseen BTs and new boss types that will push Sam to his limits. As you prepare for each journey, you’ll be able to fabricate weapons like machine guns, shotguns and grenade launchers to deal with threats. Or, choose to avoid confrontation altogether with stealth – using decoy holograms, silent takedowns and long-ranged gear.

Through APAS enhancements, Sam can learn new skills that will improve his odds of survival, like enhanced weapon fire-rates or reduced movement noise to help him stay hidden.

Hands across Australia

The iconic Social Strand System of DEATH STRANDING returns to encourage asynchronous connection across the globe. Your in-game actions affect how other players interact with the world and vice-versa – so connect, collaborate and help your fellow Porters on their journeys.

Leave a “Like” on a useful bridge, donate resources to community projects, store field ware in shared lockers and finish incomplete deliveries as you stumble upon dropped cargo from other Porters. As you support other players on their journeys, your own reputation will grow, giving you access to valuable resources and new gear.

Being UPS deliveryman is just not fun no matter how much you polish the experience, Kojimbo head way too up his own ass. Too many yes man without anyone telling him he need to make a fun game first and foremost. That

as a big fan of the first game, this sequel is just too large. making it so much bigger than the first game just spreads out the content way too far, and there's just not enough story beats to keep me interested. i got

Just rolled credits on this game and all I can say is WOW... I really liked DS1 but for whatever reason I REALLY got into DS2. It put me into a complete flow. And as someone who skips around games a lot this is the only

I recently finished the game and thoroughly enjoyed it. The story was engaging, the characters were memorable, and the boss fights were a real highlight for me. Personally, I enjoyed this game even more than the first

The direct sequel to the most special open-world game of all time Death Stranding 2: On the Beach takes the torch passed from its predecessor and holds it high. Just about every single aspect, whether it be story,

It's more of DS1, but with an absurd amount of QOL and balance changes that go above and beyond to improve UX. Everything I thought could be improved was and they also added many things I didn't know I wanted. Better
